Limited Progression of Nuclear Sclerosis after Lens-Sparing Vitrectomy in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Eyes: A Real-World Investigation with Scheimpflug Lens Densitometry
The increase in lens nuclear sclerosis is more pronounced in nondiabetic eyes than in those with PDR after lens-sparing vitrectomy. These findings support the hypothesis that ischemia in PDR may protect against the development of nuclear cataracts following PPV.
